If you suffer from periodontitis, it is important to receive the right treatment, so that you stop the disease before it causes serious problems to the support of your teeth.
Periodontitis is a serious inflammatory disease of bacterial origin that destroys the tissues supporting your teeth. It is usually the next stage of untreated gingivitis. Dental plaque bacteria and tartar penetrate below your gums, creating “pockets” and therefore an even greater build-up of bacteria.
If it is not treated and monitored, it progresses to resorption of the jawbone that actually supports your teeth.
At our clinic we monitor and take care, even in cases where the disease is advanced, that it does not cause further problems. A deep cleaning is performed (with or without local anaesthesia), followed by dental check-ups every 3 to 6 months for repeat treatment.
At the same time, you receive precise instructions on cleaning your teeth properly at home, which is essential to halt the progress of the disease.
